A significant traffic collision occurred today on State Route 91 East at the interchange with State Route 71 in Corona, CA, disrupting the morning commute for many drivers. The incident involved two vehicles: a big rig that collided with a roadside wall and a separate solo vehicle.
As a result of the collision, several lanes were closed, leading to notable traffic delays and congestion in the area. Emergency response units quickly arrived to manage the scene and control traffic flow. Initially, a tow truck was requested for the overturned big rig, which was precariously positioned at the edge of the roadway. However, this tow request was later canceled as cleanup operations progressed.
The right lane was partially blocked, and the Green River on-ramp to eastbound State Route 91 was completely shut down for a period, further exacerbating traffic backups. Drivers experienced significant delays as emergency crews worked diligently to clear the scene and restore normal traffic conditions.
Throughout the incident, updates were provided to keep motorists informed about the ongoing road closures and potential detours. The focus remained on safely managing the traffic incident and minimizing disruption to the daily commute, ensuring that drivers could return to their routes as quickly as possible.
